del Toro: "There are only two games I consider masterpieces..."

[ZenfoldorVGI]

I love Del Toro.

It pains me to admit that I'm not a huge fan of either of these games.

I hear people claim that they are emotional, but the problem lies in the lack of narrative.

That said, I got about 45 minutes into ICO recently, before I got bored, and I sold the game.

I actually almost enjoy the gameplay in SotC enough to finish it, but I always again, get bored. It's like I have to play these long, repetitive, cool looking games for 15 minutes of emotion at the end.

I still have SotC. It is very likely that one day I will pick it up again, and see its full potential.

This is the first time I've ever admitted this, but playing those games makes me feel like I'm at an art museum with my girlfriend, looking at all this cool art and getting emotional about it.

The only problem is, if it was up to me, I'd just stay home and watch TV.

I admit the games are AAA, and I can't tell you why I get really bored everytime I play them, but I can tell you it's hard to have an opinion that is contrary to basically every accepted opinion on the planet.

Great AAA masterpieces!? Hell yeah, sure.

Zenfoldor want to play? I'd rather replay the Simpson's game or Gun...or rent Too Human.



Anyway, an overlooked masterpiece is Silverload for the PS1.
